Cilantro

From seed, Santo Cilantro, High Mowing (1 yr old).
Direct sow: 5/4/12, planted 1-2 seeds every 4-6 inches.
Lots of weeds in same area and very difficult to weed when plants are small.  Germination rate lower due to seeds being dug up, and also covered by leaves/compost.

From seed, Johnny's Calypso Cilantro
Direct sow: 5/4/12, planted 1-2 seeds every 4-6 inches. No need to thin, plants do well bunched.  Okay to harvest once plants are established.  Will go to seed (corriander) approx 3 months after planting.  Prefers full sun, but cooler weather.
Bolted (2011) in warm weather.  Need to harvest early and often.
